This document outlines the introductory physics course objectives, outcomes, grading structure, classroom management policies, and lesson plan. The objectives are to improve student academic performance, instill intrinsic motivation to learn science and physics, and teach the interconnectedness of physics laws. Outcomes include developing interest in the physical world, constructing and applying physics knowledge, and developing scientific inquiry skills. Grading includes attendance, quizzes, midterm, final, projects and participation. Classroom policies address supplies needed, fostering accountability, monitoring progress, and requiring 70% attendance to pass. The lesson plan involves dividing into groups to summarize the lesson and publishing the summary on the discussion board.
7. OBJECTIVES
•To improve students’ academic performance and
make them better understand physics
•To instill students with intrinsic motivation to learn
science in general and physics in particular
•To teach the importance of interconnectedness of
the laws of physics and natural laws and principles
used in the development of society and
organizations.
8. OUTCOMES
• develop interest in the physical world and maintain a
sense of wonder and curiosity about it;
• construct and apply knowledge of physics, and
appreciate the relationship between physical science and
other disciplines;
• develop skills for making scientific inquiries and
experiments;
9. ATTENDANCE AND GRADING

12. FOSTERING STUDENT
ACCOUNTABILITY
•Clear Communication of Assignments and Work
Requirements by posting the description of assessments on
Blackboard.
•Monitoring Progress on and Completion of Assignments by
creating the progress file for every student
•Feedback to Students – in case of necessity providing the
feedback to the students by showing them the performance
assessment
•- Late and incomplete works will result in lower marks
based on the assessment criteria of the teacher
13. MONITORING PROGRESS
The assignment of the students will be gathered on the
Blackboard Panel
For the case of emergency the additional group mails will be
created by the class monitors (praepostors)
14. ATTENDANCE
Each student must attend at least 70% of the lessons in order
to be able to pass. Those who miss more than 30% will receive
an automatic Fail.
Attendance percentage appears on Blackboard and students
may view it by logging into My ADA. Those who show good
attendance can be given up to 5% by subject instructor towards
their overall grade for a course.
17. LESSON TAKEAWAY!
1) Structure of the lesson – team-work, individual work – u need to send me
the group list
2) Importance of science in our life – you can observe it almost everywhere
3) Cosine
4) MAKING NOTES ARE VERY IMPORTANT – it drives you
5)LEARN BEFORE COMING TO THE LESSON –
next week to implement the SCORM
